The True North Star

The North Star, (Polaris), has great importance.

Ships rely on it for navigation. Small ships tossed in a storm rely on this all important star to find their way.

Instrumentation can malfunction. But the North Star is always there.

Hunters. Hikers. Pilots.

If lost at night, they first search for the North Star.

So many lives have been saved because God put a star on the tip of the little dipper.

There are many stars in the sky. These stars have their significance as well. Constellations are group of stars that have been given names. Stories have been written about these constellations. Men and women have devoted their whole lives to studying the stars, watching their movements, discovering new stars, and searching for information based on the stars.

There is another North Star.

It's true!

Like Polaris shining bright against the night sky, this North Star brilliantly shines, saving countless lives.

The star I am talking about is John 3:16. This North Star of the Bible has led lost men and women, boys and girls, to the One who can save them. Jesus Christ, God's Son.

Like the North Star shining brightly in the sky for all to see, so also does John 3:16-proclaiming the good news. This is the way Home for all who are lost.

But like the North Star in the sky, if we don't look at John 3:16, we will never see the way. Sometimes the lost are not able to see where the North Star is. A friend points the way, helping the lost one to see.

Not everyone is able to see the John 3:16 North Star. God sends us to point the way. When a lost person sees the star, they are able to see the way. Then the other stars (verses) of the Bible can be studied, discovering new truths.

John 3:16. Do you know this star? The North Star of the Bible? The one that will show you the way?

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.NKJV

This is the True North Star.

I asked Andrea to tell us how God led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: Romance Done Write I didn’t read much while growing up in my family’s suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin home. I read what I was assigned for school, along with an occasional children’s novel like Pippi Longstocking and Little House in the Big Woods . When I was in fourth grade, I wrote my first novel, Little Miss Mouse . My mother kept it all these years and it’s now in my possession. I laugh when I read those ten handwritten pages. At the tim...

Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night. I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. ent...

One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class.

We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative. I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share how God has led her on her writing journey.
